But I doubt anyone here really thinks of you as a junior, Gale. kipknee Junior Username: kipknee Post Number: 50 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:17 pm:    Isn't that interesting? I never even noticed the Junior next to my name until your post(s). I guess I just pay more attention to username familiarization and/or their date of registration. The membership classification doesn't really mean anything to me. I've been around since October of 2002, and I also was a member of the original Yahoo group, but I don't post that often, so I guess I'm doomed to be a "junior" until my demise. :-) gbarchus Junior Username: gbarchus Post Number: 44 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:19 pm:    Thanks Bob, but like hollis, I am a junior also, but have never got used to it in 52 years! Gale, junior gbarchus Junior Username: gbarchus Post Number: 45 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:25 pm:    Only five more to go! Anyone want to celibrate? gbarchus Junior Username: gbarchus Post Number: 46 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:27 pm:    WAIT! I kinda feel safe here in junior "land." I don't what it's like out there with you normal members. elzie Advanced Member Username: elzie Post Number: 277 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:34 pm:    Normal members??? LOL! You have much to learn grasshopper.... mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1433 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 4:42 pm:    The threshhold is set to 50 posts to graduate. Currently they are: New: 0 Junior: 10 Member: 50 Intermediate Member: 100 Advanced Member: 200 Senior Member: 400 We had a discussion about it a year ago, but I'm still trying to decide on the "names." It can only be triggered by number of posts, and any suggestions are welcomed. peter_jonas Junior Username: peter_jonas Post Number: 31 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 5:42 pm:    Hi All, My suggestions are: Member: 0 Occasional Contributor: 10 Intermediate Contributor: 50 Regular Contributor: 100 Advanced Contributor: 200 Senior Conributor: 400 That way your membership to the Club is granted as soon as you register regardless of the number of your posts. Later on, depending on how actively you become involved, you can "earn" various degrees of the title "Contributor". This scheme also avoids the word "Junior" which (as we have seen) can potentially offend or irritate people. Cheers, Peter peter_jonas Junior Username: peter_jonas Post Number: 32 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 5:45 pm:    Read: Senior Contributor: 400 (sorry about the typo) dnburgess Intermediate Member Username: dnburgess Post Number: 181 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 6:56 pm:    Mica I suggest we name the contributor levels after various grades of wood. We can all aspire to be "burled coco bolo contributors". David palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 1029 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 - 1:16 am:    Guys ...you make me feel very bad. What can I say? I'm over 1000 so must be nearly dead. I don't feel very important, anluy a big white one big a big mouth and not always having something senseful to say. I didn't lived though the Yahoo period -yeah ...I missed al that fun- but have 1000. I know some people here who are the most silent people I ever know but as soon as they "open there mouth" it is "printing time". I suggest we forget about the postnumbers. I don't know what it serves. We all proved as Alembic-players to be open minded, eager to learn, and respectfull against every opinion. See for yourself: our beloved "moders" Val en Mica are complete out of work modering: Val isa testing basses in the company Mica is running. LOL Paul the bad one PS: let's ask the Elf department in this club to give us names. Nobody will understand a damn. adriaan Intermediate Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 122 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 - 5:45 am:    Why do we need degrees? Why not just post the number of postings with the registration date. After 5 year, 100 postings is no longer "Regular". Another good idea might be to add a first name next to the login. Other than that, let's keep this forum simple and graceful, not loaded with icons and emoticons and who-knows-what-else. bob Intermediate Member Username: bob Post Number: 141 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 - 10:30 am:    Yeah, what adriaan said. effclef Junior Username: effclef Post Number: 19 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 8:33 am:    How about: Short Scale Medium Scale Long Scale Extra Long Scale Classico ??? <grin> :-) EffClef the_schwartz Member Username: the_schwartz Post Number: 51 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 10:51 am:    I like David's idea about wood names. Veterans like P(TBO) could have "quilted cocobolo" status. Or we could have something like: Excel Essence Rogue Europa Series I Series II Joe hollis Junior Username: hollis Post Number: 20 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 11:09 am:    Let us not forget; Skylark, Further,Tribute, etc....I know the strings are tiny but they have a mighty voice. Joking aside, I like the idea of categorizing by instrument or wood names. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 1032 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 11:28 am:    And plea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ease ... I'm not a "veteran"! I'm a freshman with a big mouth!!!! Ok ...I know ...nearly 50 years old but ...hey ....that's a small detail. Paul the bad one WHAT ??? ONE THOUSAND THIRTY TWO??? Hmpf ...I bet they're cheating on those numbers!!
